Career Changers TV is a half-hour show geared to people in Hawaii who are looking to make a career change, or want to start their own business. As part of Spectrum OC16’s homegrown family of programs, it can be seen daily at different times by over 300,000 households state-wide, plus thousands of online viewers.

When we started in 2010 during the recession, our show’s focus was on employment opportunities and education programs that prepare students for jobs in demand. But as the economy improved and more people became interested in launching startups, we expanded our content to include TV magazine-style features on local success stories, who provide practical advice and inspiration for a diverse audience.

If your market is local kine folks who channel surf, “advertorial” or “infotainment” type stories are a great alternative to 30-second commercials that get lost in the shuffle of network channel ads. Honestly, does anyone sit through three or four minutes of commercials and remember what they saw?

Many stories we’ve aired have gotten follow-up media coverage in Hawaii publications and nationally-broadcast TV shows seen on the Food Network, Discovery Channel, History Channel and Travel Channel. People we’ve profiled have later been featured in cover stories and articles in Pacific Business News, Honolulu Magazine and the Honolulu Star-Advertiser.

In short, appearing on Career Changers TV is like having a video press release that thousands of viewers will see each day on television. Business leaders, entrepreneurs and notable personalities who have been on our show include:

Henk Rogers, Tetris tycoon/Blue Planet Foundation/Blue Startups

Michael Tam, Martin & MacArthur CEO

Richard Pezzulo, Waimea Valley Executive Director

Kent Untermann, Pictures Plus Founder and CEO

Dr. Rob Yonover, inventor, appeared on Shark Tank

Kini Zamora, Fashion Designer/Project Runway Finalist

Lee Anne Wong, Top Chef contestant/Restaurant owner

Camille’s On Wheels food truck, appeared on Guy Fieri’s Food Network show

Reno Henriques, Fresh Catch owner, also appeared on Guy’s show

Loretta Ables Sayre, Tony Award-nominated performer/singer

Seed Restaurant story picked up by Huffington Post

Mermaid Kariel feature got over 1 million views

And that’s just a sampling from over 500 segments we’ve produced in the past seven years. Check out our YouTube Channel to see more examples and categories you or your company might fit into…
